To all whom it may concern:

Be it "known that I, WI LIAM BROWN, of Duncannon, in the county of Perry and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Fasteners; and do hereby declare that the follow in g is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference bein-g had to the accompanying drawings and to theletters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

My invention relates to animprovement upon the sash-fastener as patented to me October 6, 1868, and numbered 82,797; and it consists in casting the metal frame and its lugs'of one piece, and attaching an end piece having pins to said frame, for readily and safely securing the shafts which operate the sash-locking (lerices, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, making a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents the sash-fastener attached to the window-frame. Fig. 2 represents a view, showing the notches in the window-sash. Fig. 3 represents a perspective "iew of ,the metal frame, and the shafts and fasteners attached together. Fig. 4 represents a View of the frame'with the end piece removed, and without the shafts and fasteners attached.

A and B represent the two window-sash within the frame 0. Each sash has notches n n on one edge, which contain shouldered nietal plates H, inserted in the top of each notch. Within the frame, in a mortise opposite each of the notched edges of the two sash, is placed the sash-fasteners. D represents a flat metal plate, having angular lugs e e cast therewith, one for each of the shafts, and through which the rear ends of the shafts arepassed into perforations in the same. These shafts are indicated by letters E F, and each one carries a right-angular catch or fastener,

H, having a notch, h, at the top, to engage with the shoulders on the plates H, embedded in the notches it. Both shafts are operated by levers G, as shown.

The inner end of the plate D is perforated, as seen at z 2, Fig. 4. A plate or bar, e, is east With pins y y, and this plate is connected at right angles to the plate D by passing the pins 3 3 through the holes 2 z, and riveting the same thereto, for the purpose of forming the .outer bearing for the ends of the shafts E F.

This manner of casting the shaft-supporting plate and bar for holding the inner ends of the Witnesses:
